Hello Monday! I haven't blogged since the last edition of Hello Monday. My life hasn't been so busy that I don't have time for the blog. Instead I have just been very unmotivated to "record" our daily life this summer. When I sit at the computer, I just feel a little "ho hum," with not much new to say. Hopefully, I will get some of the motivation back in the next few weeks as we gear up for the new school year. Can anyone relate?
This week we wrapped up our dog sitting for our friends. I can't wait to hear about their trip to AFRICA! I loved following along on Facebook. They saw every animal imaginable and were a few feet away from the gorillas in Rwanda. What an incredible experience!
The kids both had their annual well-visit with the pediatrician. I guess Grace will have one final visit next year on her 18th birthday. We absolutely love our doctor, and they have been going to her since birth. It will be yet another milestone when Grace says goodbye to her.
We went shopping for school supplies this week. They are prepared now for all their classes. Jack is taking almost the exact same courses that Grace did in 10th grade, so she can give him advice about teachers and assignments. We're so proud of both of them!
This weekend we went up to Dallas to visit Wes and Suzette. It was hard to find a good weekend that fit into everyone's schedules. This weekend worked out, but then Suzette started having trouble with a muscle in her hip again. This is a problem that she had earlier this year and really debilitated her. So we decided to still make the trip up even though she might not be up for much activity.
We had a really nice weekend, with just some quiet time around the house. Wes took us out to a shopping area there called Legacy, which was just incredible. The Tesla store was a hit.
In the top photo above, the kids were playing around with some scarves and a wig that Suzette had. I told them to pose together because I think they look so similar when their heads are covered (if that makes sense.)
We were also so excited to see Justin and Robyn and their two sweet girls - aged 3 years and 4 months. We all had fun playing with them and holding the baby. So fun to remember life with two little ones.
Today we drove home and are ready to start a new week...hopefully with a little more blogging!
Please link up your HELLO MONDAY post below! Have a wonderful week!
You know I can totally relate to the blogging thing. That’s cool Jack is taking the same courses. I hope this week is sweet and smooth for you!
ReplyDeleteI wish Alise got her supply list BEFORE the first day of school. It would save me so much running around time.
ReplyDeleteI need to make doctors appointments and finish school supply shopping! My boys love going to the Tesla store!
ReplyDeleteWe're spending so much time at home this summer that I find I don't have much to write about either! I'm trying to get my boys out and to do crafts, baking, etc. but everyone seems pretty unmotivated to do much of anything.
ReplyDeleteYes, mine would be happy to veg out all day! :)
DeleteI'm right there with you on the blogging. I try to tell myself that it's because I'm busy, but I think I'm just too tired when I get home from work. I updated my planner for August and came up with a few blog ideas so I'm hoping to get back into it more too. It's ok to take a break!
ReplyDeleteI have some ideas to get back on track, and just need to sit down and get busy! :) I'm glad I'm not alone!
DeleteI agree that it is hard to drum up motivation/have time for blogging during the summer. When the kids are home I want to spend as much time with them as I can and I always feel guilty about being at the computer! That said, sometimes Momma needs a break, too! Haha.
